Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
- 1 1/2 cups Cadbury Mini Eggs, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugar mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined to avoid overworking the dough.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips and Mini Eggs: Gently fold in the semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips and the roughly chopped Cadbury Mini Eggs, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Portion Cookies: Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges appear golden and the cookie centers are set but still soft.
- Cool Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
Notes
- For softer cookies, slightly underbake and let them cool on the sheet.
- Chop Cadbury Mini Eggs roughly to maintain a nice texture in the cookies.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- To keep cookies crispier, separate layers with parchment paper.
- Can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate chips based on preference.
